Thanks for the answer mate! I am a newbie in this. I'm a sysadmin and web dev. But when the boss lays that on you, what you gonna do?!

Thanks again! I appreciate the help :) On 8/28/2010 1:37 PM, Cedric BAIL wrote: > On Sat, Aug 28, 2010 at 12:03 PM, Eduard Bulai <[email protected]> wrote: >> I've got a client that wants to install a linux distro on his embedded >> devices and asked me what would be the best choice in developing the GUI >> for his devices. >> >> Basically it's gonna be a touchscreen computer with some security >> specific peripherals.
